Wouldn't variadic templates avoid one of the problems the OP
mentioned:

  (extending the number of types that variant can support forces
  you to disable the use of precompiled headers).

?  OTOH, it may be that using variadic templates would not
lessen the compile time.  Is that what you mean by "would not help"?
